J Dawn Poet I do not know?

Prisoner Within My Own Wall

I built a wall around my emotions
As if I were hiding some secret treasure
Having seen as a child what pain love can bring
I wouldn't risk giving someone that pleasure

Making sure that my wall was of such strength 
That no one uninvited could enter
Sealing every nook and cranny twice
Became my minds front and center

Over the years many have asked
If I would allow them to climb and come in
But a wall of such strength and magnitude
Proved much to strong for these men

Even I from time to time
Thought I knew what it was to care
But once I allowed them halfway in
Found I had no true feelings to share

Now content with the wall that I built
It was as clear as clear could be
Protecting my emotions meant so much
My wall had made a prisoner out of me
